GRANTHAM JAQUETTE, OF PHILADELHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

. Japplication filed November 21, 1921.

To all w/l 0m iz? may c'oncern Be it known that lnAN nas JAQUi'r'ricj acitizen of' the United States, residii'inj at Philadelphia, State ofPenns'ylrania, 'nai'c inrented certain new and useful improve ments inMeat-Slicing- Machines, oif which the following is a specification,reference being` had to the acconipanying drawi torming` part ot thisspecification.

My invention relates to meat slieing; inachines having' a meat table andineans 'tor holdingr thereon short ends o'lb i'neat which are too shortto be held by a. clamp. li'iy invention has lol' its object, to providea simple and effective construction 'for said nieat-holdingI device.which is coinnionly known as a ineatend plate.

Piei'erring to the drawings, Fie'. 1 is a view ot the nieat end plate,together with a fragment oil? the nieat table and the clamp posts.

is a. Vfront eiei'ation of these parts. Figrs. and ll show the sameparts as Figs. l

and 2, but with a different arrangen'ient. Fig. shows a cross section*view talzen through a pair ot teeth on line i'i-A.

The reference nunibers indicate similar parts in each place where the:)7appear. The essential point ot construction. .in niy inven tioncomprises two plates oi' 'tr-eines l and 2, which are either pirotalrespecting one another as in llig. 1, or slidab e as shown in Figs. 8and ll. In l and lilewise in lig. 2, the plates l and are shown pirotalupon pi'vot 7. which is shown in the center ot the plates. l-lowever,the pii'ot may he locate-:l at anj.Y suitable point. plate 'i hasrtbiched to it teeth 8 which extend through openines in plate 2 andenagiwith eefi mounttf thereon o hold the iuent. ;lin suitable number ofteeth may be used.. lla

l is iitteil with hoolzs 10 which hold the entire device to pos* and.said posts bel a part ot all nie-.it slicinzj n'iachines. in Filia. 3and Liz, flanges ll serre a slide :tor plate 2, said. 'tianges being`integral with plate l. 8 is a :fragment of the ;neat table which iscommon to all slicing machines now in use. rl`he handle 9 is tor movingplate 2 relatire Serial No. 516,355.

to plate 1 in order to engage or disengage teeth 3 and 4, thus graspingor releasing' the meet. Fig. 3 shows two teeth in detail, and theirmanner of engaging as described above.

will be noted that teeth 3 and [i are formed by stamping out suitableportions of plates I and 2 and bending saine outward theretrom at anangle. This construction has two purposes, Viz.: (l) t eliminates thecrevice which is inevitable in construo tions involvingr the attachmentof separate teeth to the plate. lu such ci'evices small portions of meatmay colleet and putrety7 and cannot be washed out. (2) The constructionis also more simple, tor two reasons.l viz. lt is less troublesoine tostamp the teeth from the plate than to make separate teeth end attachthem thereto. (b) Be ing arranfi'ed at a suitable angrle with the plate,teetn in niy invention will eng' the meat and draw it tightly agaii'istthe plate, whereas in i'ormer instances similar to this, it has beennecessary to more the teeth 'forward to engage the meat and enter intosame.

I claim:

In combination a meat slicingr` machine having' a reciprocating;`carriaoje. a nieat table thereon and means tor holding; short ends ofmeet comprising; a plate provided with openinps with teeth thereonprojeeting' from wall of said openings at an angle to the surfaceol-ns'aid plate.. and a plate having; teeth thereon which protrudethere'lfrom at an angle and extend through the aforesaid openings in thefirst mentioned plate and cooperate with the teeth on said firstmentioned plate 'to draw the ineat firmly against the first nientionedplate, the teeth on both said plates being integral with the plates andforined ot the substance thereof.
